Ingredients
1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (or homemade!)
1 medium apple, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best!)
1 tbsp brown sugar (adds a deep caramelized sweetness!)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (warm and cozy spice!)
1/2 tsp cornstarch (thickens the filling!)
1 tbsp water (for a smooth filling!)
1 egg (for egg wash) (gives that golden brown shine!)
1 tbsp sugar (for topping) (adds a slight crunch!)
Directions
- Prepare the Apple Filling
🔸 In a small pan, cook diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and water over medium heat.
🔸 Stir until the apples soften and the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
🔸 Remove from heat and let cool completely before using. - Assemble the Hand Pies
🔹 Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface.
🔹 Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles.
🔹 Spoon apple filling onto one half of each dough circle.
🔹 Fold over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. - Air Fry to Perfection
🔥 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2 minutes.
🔥 Brush the hand pies with an egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
🔥 Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
🔥 Air fry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. - Cool & Serve
🍽 Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
🍽 Enjoy with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence!
